Minnehaha Creek
Help make our lakes and streams cleaner!
Planting a tree is the easiest way to improve the value of your property, reduce your energy needs, shrink your carbon footprint and improve our air and water quality. This August, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is providing 300 trees to residents in selected areas for only $26. Do your part to help clean our creek by planting one of these trees this summer.
